Kuda Premier Leather Flex Saddle| Kuda Treeless Premier Saddle

Original Kuda Western Flex - This saddle does not have a hard wooden tree. It does have bars however, made of leather and foam. They raise the rider up away from the horses spine so that a nice air channel is formed down the horses back. No spinal pressure and no pressure from ill fitting bars. The saddle bars bend and form to the horses back. This also ensures that the horse does not feel jabs in the loins or withers upon turning. You are sitting close to your horse and can feel all the movements he makes under you and your communication is multiplied many times. This saddle does not have a narrow twist.

The pommel is made of wood covered with rawhide. It comes in four sizes to fit nearly all horses withers. The bars mold to the horses back, but the pommel must be the correct width to sit properly on either side of the withers. To find out the width of your horses withers, do a measurement. See instuctions here. The Cantle is made of a rigid foam material. It is rigid yet flexible. 

The Western Flex has a fairly flat seat, making it easier to move around in while training. It is also more comfortable for people who do not like a rise in the seat leading up to the pommel. This saddle is sized like a treed Western saddle for the rider.

 
The rigging is a Center Fire Rigging. The latigo starts in the back, goes down through the cinch ring, up through the front ring of the saddle, back down through the cinch ring, and then ties off in the back. This lets the cinch ring float and self adjust so the pressure is equal from front to back on the saddle. This keeps the saddle from flipping up in back while going down hill and takes the place of the western back cinch. For those who do not care for the Center Fire Rigging, we sell a drop western Rigging Converter. With the use of a crupper and breast collar, the saddle does not have to be super tight either.

The Kuda Stirrups are made of fiberglass and are covered with leather. They have the twist built in. No more knee ache!!

 
A Skito Pad is recommended with this saddle as for all treeless saddles.
